Does the MDT test soluble solids, titrable acidity/pH, starch, etc?
No. But the MDT does have the ability to record individual fruit and/or lot averages for these values in its electronic record, allowing you to sort and analyze these values with the MDT software. Furthermore, with the MDT Server software, any worker with a notebook computer (no MDT is necessary) can scan in any kind of fruit maturity information (starch, soluble solids, titrable acidity, color, defects, shape, etc.) from any location into a central relational database that will soon be accessible from MS Access or any other SQL-capable database program. A simple process using the MDT Server described here.
